Fire has one meaning if you are afraid of it, another if you consider it a source of warmth; and either of these two meanings will also be colored by any of the endless variations of personal events that any individual might have encountered with it. Your own knowledge of dream symbols and their personal meaning is so opaque simply because you are not used to examining them with your conscious mind. [...]

(Assembling all of these elements into a psychological whole, he declared that “the sessions, among other things, were generated by your own experiences as creatures, and your desires to look for personal answers — but more basically, to seek out the answers [asked for] by all of your race.” [...]

[...] She’d been correct in this case also, saying the person was not dead; he returned within the time she specified, also, namely one dating several months after his disappearance. [...]

The person interested in the psychic pursuit of the wicked, for example, certainly has as much in common basically with the policeman or detective as he or she has with other psychics, regardless of the differences that seem to exist. [...]

[...] He is not a businesswoman in the terms that a person is who is primarily devoted to business. [...]

[...] Yet each person alive contains an element of greatness; and more, a desire to fulfill those inner abilities.

[...] In your belief system, however, it is almost imperative to see a doctor in such circumstances (as Jane wrote in Note 2 for Session 805), for many fears are unsubstantiated, and the fear alone, found groundless, gives the person new life symbolically and physically.

[...] In a way the very pain of cancer — of some cancers — often acts through its intensity as a reflection of the person’s belief that life is painful, tormenting. [...]

[...] The Nature of Personal Reality: A Seth Book. [...]

[...] When she asked me if I could sort out Seth’s book material from his personal stuff, I said it was easy — that I wasn’t concerned at all.

[...] Yet through all of this immense, continuous creation, there is always a personal sense of continuity: You never really lose your way in the distance between one moment and the next —

I have said that vitality in the personality is vitality in the personality. [...]

My wife, Jane Roberts, dictated The Magical Approach for Seth, the “energy personality essence” she spoke for in a trance state, in 1980—but the pressures of Jane’s illness, and of our producing other books, kept us from publishing it quickly. [...]

[...] Later, she helped me proofread the new editions of Seth Speaks and The Nature of Personal Reality that Amber-Allen/New World Library has published. [...]

(We had been hunting through the taped session for particularly strong voice effects so that John could get an idea of the power of the Seth personality. [...]

(Seth also told John that the data given on Searle Drug, its financial and personal entanglements, plus John’s own promising prospects if he remained with the firm through its present crises, still applied. [...]

[...] The letter concerns a particular event, a meeting which has not yet occurred, and it concerns another person also, beside the person who wrote the letter, and beside Dr. Instream. That is, another person in particular, though more may be involved in the event when it occurs. [...]

It is true that Priestley speaks in terms of consciousness being retained at this stage, but a consciousness devoid of personality is an odd bird indeed. The personality structure changes, it is true, but consciousness of overall identities within any given unit of consciousness is always retained. [...]

[...] She told us she considered this person to be really upsetting to her personally; it was a case of one individual taking a strong dislike to another.

[...] Therefore, while this time one of continuous moments is no longer experienced after death, it is still a reality within basic time itself, a reality toward which the personality simply is no longer focused. [...]

(I am merely making these observations here to get them on the record for possible later reference, and to give some background to my own personal problems of recent days. [...]

[...] I believe my reactions, which were loud and clear, paid off, for Tam called Jane yesterday to find out, in his own way, whether I was mad at him personally. [...]

[...] Part of your personal problem now is because you feel you have cut off the easy flow of creative energy into your painting and into Mass Reality, and even to some extent—on your part, now—because the contracts are unsigned, and the flow in that area momentarily is somewhat impeded. [...]

[...] Personally, however, if I might be so bold, I would think that any such time might better be put to use in painting, if I were a painter. [...]

[...] So you also have strong healing abilities but these, so far in your personal life, have been latent because of your fear and your obsession in the other direction. [...] In your own personal life you are afraid to use your abilities of this healing. [...]

There are many personalities, however, who understand your difficulties and who sympathize with them and who help you when you call upon them and such is the healer upon whom you have called. [...]

And to you, I try to speak to you personally when I can but there is also information that I want to get through all of your heads. [...]

[...] Look at it personally: You are not at the mercy of your childhood environment or background, unless you believe you are. [...]

[...] (As I mentioned before, these names refer to the whole personalities of which our present selves are only a part.)

[...] … Each of the three of you creates your own glass, in your own personal perspective. [...]

[...] “He sits in his own chair which he has constructed in his own space continuum and personal perspective.

A strong part of your personalities is therefore a product of the physical system in which you have physical existence. [...]

[...] Such development becomes an unfolding and a natural expansion of the whole personality.

[...] But I no longer felt as I did as a child, that the universe was well-intended or cared for me particularly; and looking about the world saw personal threats. [...]

(12:30 AM.) Since you are talking to Ruburt from your outside, and telling him what to do, when you are not personally saddled in the same way that he is, then how often have you ever reassured him that he could indeed walk properly, get up easily, or joyfully tried to reinforce his confidence?

(“Why don’t you comment on the personal material you gave Monday?”

[...] We’ll also want to see a copy of the contract itself, and probably know the names of the foreign editors and publishers so we can contact them personally. [...]

[...] I’m personally quite willing to let the chips fall where they may, to coin a phrase, but I’m not at all sure that Jane will agree to go along. [...]

There are some reincarnational connections involving Tam, but the overall important point is that in its way, Prentice has attempted to maintain the books’ integrity, and not made any effort to distort the message, to sensationalize it, as for example the Bantam covers, or to personally exploit Ruburt, yourself, or the situation.
